Being able to manage update groups without group policy
You can, local policy on non domain members works well.
This one bothers me ALOT. Why do they have to be controlled by policies, period? Why cant you create a collection from WSUS by DNS name or IP? That really doesnt make sense to me.

Because Microsoft likes to tie everything together.

But often the best option is just "remove WSUS" and "do nothing else".
This is what I've said a few times lately.
But because I have to use WSUS, it's working well.

Why do you "have" to use it?

Because we use Windows 10 and without WSUS, we can't guarantee stability of production systems, equipment, and user PCs.
We don't use Enterprise Win10, so we need WSUS. Probably need it anyways, but still.

Can you guarantee stability regardless? What about WSUS are you using to ensure that stability?

How much is that actually beneficial, though? There are extreme cases where you need this, but they are rare. What updates are you holding back that need WSUS and are beneficial to hold back?

It's not necessarily the updates themselves, it's a combination of that and being able to control when all devices reboot after updates are installed.

It would be very odd for a conversation in real life to stay confined to one very specific topic or idea, why does everyone assume that an online forum would be any different from real life discussions?

Because real life is not text based.
Can you imagine if we only had the WAYDRN thread on ML and everything happened in that one thread?

You apparently don't live in my world. Everything I can feasibly convert to it is text based!
